Still the Strike.

NEW YORK, February 12.-At the
evening session of the headquarters of
one of the executive committee it was
stated that she strike would not end
the boycott on the Old Dominion line.
The men who turned out with the strik-
ers on this pier who did not belong to
the union Will be assisted with money
until they get employment. More strik
ers went to work on the steamship
piers 10 the afternoon. Officers of the
'longshoremen's unions, state that
nearly all their men will be at work on
Monday. The movement of freight
continues to improve. The strikers on
the Lehigh Valley Railway pier went to
work this mornin A large number
went in on the Jersey Central pier. At
No. 4, of the Pennsylvania, score of
strikers asked to be put at work,
BUT WERE REFUSED, rn !!
Agent J. S. Bondon stating they could
not come back under any circum-
stances. At the other piers the old
hands are being taken back. The big
piles of freight are fast disappearing.
In the poor quarters of this city and
Brooklyn, the people who live from
hand to mouth, many of them are in
sore straits. The tradesmen have given
all the credit they can afford; it is al
most impossible to collect rents. The
has been great for some time.
Members of District Assembly 40
met tonight and heard reports of the
various delegates. These we're to the
effect that the old hands couId return
TO work on the piers at the old scale of
wages. 1t was unanimously asked that
no members of District 49 return to
work until their demands for the in
scale had been conceded.

A SMART CAPTURE.

The Pioneer Press OF the 22d published
two pages of correspondence from Helena
which is a good advertisement for Mon
tana in general and Helena in particular.
It shows that Montana leads the world IN
bullion production and is filled with many
facts concerning the admirable field pre-
sented here for the capitalist which will be
news to great many OF the Pioneer Fress
readers. But it is pity that the compliers
of that correspondence, who were sent out
from the office Of the st. Paul paper 10
Gather these facts and statistics, did not
devote little more OF their space to Butte
and Silver Bow county, which, by their
own showing, is the richest in production
of metal in the Territory, as
thev say: "Silver Bow County
This ia bv far the most important
district in the Territory. Butte City ls the
county seat, and the mines are all IN or
near this place." And in the table OF pro-
duction OF gold and silver by counties, Sill
ver Row leads the list with total value OF
output for 1886 of ss,3O4,o94, Lewis and
Clarke in which Helena, which is the burden
ri their song, is situated, coming third on
the list with an output OF 81, ,9o9,4ll. Inc
misfortune in the article in questions Is that
| it is mainly devoted to an exposition OF
Helena's wealth and resources, and conveys
the erroneous impression that the entire
Territory is tributary to that city. !t 's
another example OF the cleverness OF the
shrewd citizens OF the capital in capturing
/ and diverting to their own beneil' every
avenue for advertising their town ana
themselves to the exclusion Of eVerywae1e
] else in the Territory.

RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION.
The Past Years Work Brings the Total
Mileage Up to 15O,71O.

Mileage Up to $50, ,71O.
CHICAGO, December 29.-The Railwa y
AGE, in a review of the railway construc'
tion for the year 1887, will say tomorrow
that 1887 has surpassed all other years in
the extent OF railway mileage constructed
in the United States. The total so far re-
ported reaches 1874 miles. The reports
vet to come will probably swell it to not
less than 13, 900 miles. This is all new main
line tracks, side tracks or relaid track not
being counted. The greater part OF this
prodigious increase OF railways has taken
place in few western States. Kansas
leads with total OF 2,O7O miles; Nebraska
comes next with 1, ,1O1; Texas. 1,O55; then
the following: Colorado. 81S; Dakota, 760;
Michigan, 700; Montana, GIG; Missouri.
554; Indian Territory, 499. and SO on
MANY of these lines have been very
costly, ms for instance those over
the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. the
Southern Pacific extensions in Northern
California, the Atchison, Kansas City and
Chicago extension, the Northern facltlc q
| work in the Cascade Mountains. etc. A
careful estimate shows that not lar from
S325. 900, 900 have been expended on
lines completed during the year, counting
buildings, equipment, etc. The money
which has thus far been expended furnishes
temporary employment to vast army OF
rkmen, and has given permanent EN-
n!ovment to another army OF probably
IS, 900. The extensions OF the year bring
the railway mileage OF the United States to
15O,71O miles.

The postal authorities have decided that
the collection of letters from private street
boxes by any person and carrying them to
the postoffice for the senders OF the same
conflicts with postal regulations. 1t would
be interesting to know in what respect it
differs from an individual sending letter
to be dropped in the postoffice by friend.
The postoffice has no authority over let
ter until it reaches depository controlled
by the Department, and the means
by which u letter reaches that
destination cannot come Wlthln

but an agent OF the Department could
collect letters from postoffice drop-letter
boxes, but the drop-letter boxes placed

be construed as belonging to the mail SER
